On this date in Giants history—Jan. 23
Happy birthday to former Giants Joey Amalfitano (his 78th) and Alan Embree (his 42nd). Amalfitano, a 1954 bonus baby, played second and third base for the Giants in 1954–’55 and 1960–’61, ’63. Embree pitched for the Giants from 1999–2001.
There are just 27 days remaining until pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

Red Sox' Bullpen in Infinitely Better Shape Than Last Year's, But Terry Francona Facing 'Tough Decisions'
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Last year at this time, the Red Sox had personnel in Oregon scouting veteran lefty Alan Embree, whom they would sign to beef up the bullpen competition. Just a few days later, Scott Schoeneweis was brought into the fold. As Terry Francona so aptly put it Friday morning in Fort Myers, the club was "scrambling" to find suitable candidates to fill out the...

Red Sox Hoping Hideki Okajima Can Bounce Back in 2011 With Spot in Revamped Bullpen
The general consensus in baseball is that if you are a lefty, you can pitch until the cows come home. Someone will always have a need for a southpaw, they say. By that logic, teams should have no problem choosing from a wide array of pitchers just looking for a job, from youngsters such as Andrew Miller, who is hoping to restart his career in the minors, to veterans such as Alan...

Rule 5 Reports: Angels LHP Robert Fish Selected by Yankees
OK, yeah, I don’t like this one. Not that it matters.
The odds that the big-budget Yankees would actually keep their Rule 5 pick around were slim to none to begin with; when you’re fighting for the pennant, wasting a roster spot is far from smart. But then they took Robert Fish, a pitcher with almost zero chance of sticking.
That’s not to say Fish doesn’t...

Scott Downs' Trade Value
There's always demand for quality left handers at the trade deadline, but this year, they're in short supply. Bruce Chen, Will Ohman and Javier Lopez could probably be acquired and Alan Embree and Scott Schoeneweis could be signed as free agents. There are not many left-handers to choose from, and that only increases Scott Downs' trade value.
The Blue Jays, below...

Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 5/9
Given the up-and-down season the Boston Red Sox are having, you never know which team is going to show up. Is it going to be the team that swept the Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays? Or is it going to be the team that got swept by the Baltimore Orioles?
It appears the team that showed up last weekend in Baltimore is the one that showed up at Fenway Park in the series against...

And while That Clay Person wasn’t as sharp as he was in his last outing, with a 17 run offense behind him, he certainly pitched well enough. Going 5 2/3, throwing 109 pitches, 65 for strikes, Buchholz gave up 4 runs on 8 hits while walking 3 and striking out 2…...

Red Sox 3, Oreos 2, in 10: “Unintelligent, Undisciplined, Uninspired Baseball. It’s got to change…”*
*As quoted by Theo after yesterday’s game…
After taking 3 from Toronto, whom I THOUGHT were a better team–and in light of the fact that the Oreos went into this 3 game series having won only 4–Yes, FOUR games, I (and probably everyone else in The Nation) figured that they Sox could very well come out of this road trip with a perfect record–or at least 5...

Schoeneweis rediscovers love for game
Scott Schoeneweis was in the clubhouse on Saturday, but Alan Embree, who has the same veteran lefty reliever pedigree, was not. After enduring a tough year personally, Schoeneweis is settling in the Sox and is happy to have gotten through this roster cut.

Happy Dice-K Day!
That's right folks...today is the day that Daisuke Matsuzaka is returning to the big boys club and pitching on a mound. I know there is a lot of discussion, complaints and just frustrations sometimes with Dice-K, particularly with how things went down last year...however, that doesn't temper my excitement. I think Dice-K is a fantastic pitcher and the fact that we are...

Roster Machinations/Weekend Preview
The Sox have some roster decisions coming up. Numero uno on the list is the move to activate Matsuzaka on Saturday. I’m guessing that Scott Schoenweis is headed out for that one. If they were going to let Embree go I imagine they would have done so already. Personally I feel Schoenweis, not Embree, is the guy the Sox should be keeping.At some point Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Cameron...

Lars Anderson has been promoted to AAA. He started the season with the Sea Dogs where he hit .355 with 5 homers. It is nice to see Anderson rebound from the offensive slump of last season.
Kevin Frandsen has been claimed off of waivers by the Angels. The Red Sox placed him on waivers to put Alan Embree on the 40 man roster with the hope that nobody would claim him and he could...

Embree: Minor adjustments
It had been seven years since Alan Embree pitched a game in the minor leagues. So spending the first month of the 2010 season in Triple A, at 40 years old, was a bit of a change for the lefthanded reliever.
